As a result of this down-time inworking with students, both students and university staff had the opportunity to re-designsystems, including hiring. This forced pause and reflection, while not ideal, was an importantlesson learned to remind staff to re-evaluate existing systems. This shift resulted in a staff thatwas close to pre-pandemic gender parity levels at the time of interviews in 2022. One female-identifying student staff member described the this as “a good thing, In engineering, I have faceddiscrimination, of course, just being one of the minority women.

School leaders, principals, and teachers are working with the research team to co-construct and iterate a model of professional learning. This model introduces teaching toengineering design along with translanguaging (i.e., using all the linguistic resources in anylanguage that a student brings to the classroom within their engineering work). Our model alsoasks teachers to reflect on their language ideologies, or beliefs and conceptions of how languageis used in

However, the major hurdle may be in the design ofappropriate assessment rubrics and developing assignments to reflect the specific outcomemeasures. Assessment itself is considered as an extra burden on the shoulders of instructors. Asa result, the instructors may find less time and energy in improving the quality of teaching. Inaddition, a fatigue condition may prevail resulting in obscure documentation which may causedissatisfaction to the evaluators. For easy and successful accreditation, the assessment processmay be designed with two objectives in mind, such that i) it does not exhaust the instructors, andii) the evaluators find the assessment process

These programs evolved from TA training programs that proliferatedbetween 1960 and 1990. Establishment of the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program in 1993formed a base for a sustained national initiative to transform doctoral education. The PFFprogram has three core features3 of 1) addressing the full scope of faculty roles andresponsibilities, 2) students have multiple mentors and receive reflective feedback and 3) bothare addressed in the context of a cluster of institutions typically involving a doctoral degree-granting institution

Studentscan then manipulate the size and location dimensions on the holes to examine acceptablevariations in hole sizes and positions. The part with the pins becomes a functional gage fortesting maximum allowable variations in size and location. By zooming in on the feature,students will be able to see that violating the tolerance zone will mean an overlap between ahole and the virtual condition pin; not allowed in the real parts. Because this virtualcondition/inner boundary is defined as a cylinder, manipulation of both the vertical andhorizontal location constraints on the hole will show that the value with which theseconstraints can change depends on the vector

In this paper, we describe a new approach for teaching design methods which addresses these issues. This approach incorporates hands-on experiences through the use of “reverse-engineering” projects. As the fundamentals of design techniques are presented, students immediately apply the methods to actual, existing products. They are able to hold these products physically in their hands, dissect them, perform experiments on their components, and evolve them into new successful creations. Based on this reverse-engineering concept, we have developed and tested new

conflictinggeometry or unattached features.The concept of Design Intent represents a primary issue of parametric modeling. Design Intentaddresses the need for preliminary study before adding features because geometric relationshipswithin the model must be preserved(5). Critical problems may arise if an engineer creates a solidmodel without taking into account the importance of Design Intent. Without proper forethought,construction of a solid model can reach a critical stage where parametric manipulation is nolonger possible. When this occurs, subsequent changes may cause an internal failure of theassociated geometry. Prevention of failures, and maximum design flexibility, reflect the goals ofCapturing Design Intent.
